As the complexity of clinical trials continues to increase, so does the importance of CROs to the pharmaceutical industry. Outsourcing allows pharmaceutical companies to utilize on-demand services, improving operational efficiencies by accessing therapeutic expertise and geographic reach. This reflects a sharper focus on core competencies and a shift to allow CROs to manage and conduct clinical trials.
ICH-based regulations have traditionally led to more overhead in the form of processes, headcounts and systems. These regulations concerning oversight cascade to all stakeholders further increasing complexity and associated costs.
Register for this webinar to hear about the forthcoming ICH E8 (R1) and ICH E6 (R3) guidelines, which renew the focus on efficiencies in conducting clinical trials and provide tools to do so – significantly impacting oversight.
